DETAILED DESCRIPTION

FIGS. 1A-1D illustrate a manufacturing process for forming a bonded structure 1, according to various embodiments. The resulting bonded structure 1 (see FIG. 1D) can include an electronic component (e.g., an integrated device die) mounted on an interconnect structure 10. For example, a first integrated device die 12 and a second integrated device die 14 can be mounted on the interconnect structure 10. The interconnect structure 10 (e.g., a redistribution layer (RDL)) can route input/output (IO) pads of the electrical component (the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14) to another location in the bonded structure 1. For example, in some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 can comprise a fan-out structure in which signals from relatively fine-pitch contact pads of the electrical component are routed out to pads outside the footprint of the component. In some applications, the interconnect structure 10 can allow an electrical communication between two or more dies (e.g., the first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14) mounted to the interconnect structure 10. A molding material 16 or encapsulant can be provided between the two or more dies (the first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14) for mechanical support and/or protection. During manufacturing (and/or operation) of the bonded structure 1, the materials may be heated, which can create reliability problems and/or defects due to mismatch of thermal coefficients of expansion. For example, during manufacturing (and/or operation) of the bonded structure 1, heating of the bonded structure can impart stresses near an interface (e.g., an edge) between the integrated device die (the first integrated device die 12 or the second integrated device die 14), the interconnect structure 10, and the molding material 16. In some embodiments, a width of the molding material is less than about 20% of a width of the first integrated die 12 or the second integrate die 14, and preferably less than about 10% of a width of the said dies. For example, the width of the molding material is between 3% to 20%, 5% to 20%, 3% to 10%, or 5% to 10% of the width of the first integrated device die 12 or the second integrated device die 14.

Various embodiments disclosure herein relate to bonded structures having improved reliability when heated, for example, during manufacturing and/or bonding. A bonded structure can include a interconnect structure (e.g., an RDL), a first die bonded to the interconnect structure, a second die bonded to the interconnect structure, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) layer disposed between the first die and the second die. The bonded structure can also include a molding material that is disposed between the first die and the second die. The first die and/or the second die can be directly bonded to the interconnect structure without an intervening adhesive.

Two or more semiconductor elements (such as integrated device dies, wafers, etc.) may be stacked on or bonded to one another to form a bonded structure. Conductive contact pads of one element may be electrically connected to corresponding conductive contact pads of another element. Any suitable number of elements can be stacked in the bonded structure.

In some embodiments, the elements (e.g., the first integrated device die 12 and the interconnect structure 10) are directly bonded to one another without an adhesive. In various embodiments, a dielectric field region (e.g., a non-conductive material 32) (also referred to as a nonconductive bonding region) of a first element (e.g., a first semiconductor device die with active circuitry or the first integrated device die 12) can be directly bonded (e.g., using dielectric-to-dielectric bonding techniques) to a corresponding dielectric field region (e.g., a non-conductive material 20) of a second element (e.g., a second semiconductor device die with active circuitry or the interconnect structure 10) without an adhesive. For example, dielectric-to-dielectric bonds may be formed without an adhesive using the direct bonding techniques disclosed at least in U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,564,414; 9,391,143; and 10,434,749, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety and for all purposes.

In various embodiments, hybrid direct bonds can be formed without an intervening adhesive. For example, dielectric bonding surfaces can be polished to a high degree of smoothness. The bonding surfaces can be cleaned and exposed to a plasma and/or etchants to activate the surfaces. In some embodiments, the surfaces can be terminated with a species after activation or during activation (e.g., during the plasma and/or etch processes). Without being limited by theory, in some embodiments, the activation process can be performed to break chemical bonds at the bonding surface, and the termination process can provide additional chemical species at the bonding surface that improves the bonding energy during direct bonding. In some embodiments, the activation and termination are provided in the same step, e.g., a plasma or wet etchant to activate and terminate the surfaces. In other embodiments, the bonding surface can be terminated in a separate treatment to provide the additional species for direct bonding. In various embodiments, the terminating species can comprise nitrogen. Further, in some embodiments, the bonding surfaces can be exposed to fluorine. For example, there may be one or multiple fluorine peaks near layer and/or bonding interfaces. Thus, in the directly bonded structures, the bonding interface between two dielectric materials can comprise a very smooth interface with higher nitrogen content and/or fluorine peaks at the bonding interface. Additional examples of activation and/or termination treatments may be found throughout U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,564,414; 9,391,143; and 10,434,749, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety and for all purposes.

In various embodiments, conductive contact pads of the first element can be directly bonded to corresponding conductive contact pads of the second element. For example, a hybrid bonding technique can be used to provide conductor-to-conductor direct bonds along a bond interface that includes covalently direct bonded dielectric-to-dielectric surfaces, prepared as described above. In various embodiments, the conductor-to-conductor (e.g., contact pad to contact pad) direct bonds and the dielectric-to-dielectric hybrid bonds can be formed using the direct bonding techniques disclosed at least in U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,716,033 and 9,852,988, the entire contents of each of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety and for all purposes.

For example, dielectric bonding surfaces can be prepared and directly bonded to one another without an intervening adhesive as explained above. Conductive contact pads (which may be surrounded by nonconductive dielectric field regions) may also directly bond to one another without an intervening adhesive. In some embodiments, the respective contact pads can be recessed below exterior (e.g., upper) surfaces of the dielectric field or nonconductive bonding regions, for example, recessed by less than 20 nm, less than 15 nm, or less than 10 nm, for example, recessed in a range of 2 nm to 20 nm, or in a range of 4 nm to 10 nm. The nonconductive bonding regions can be directly bonded to one another without an adhesive at room temperature in some embodiments and, subsequently, the bonded structure can be annealed. Upon annealing, the contact pads can expand and contact one another to form a metal-to-metal direct bond. Beneficially, the use of Direct Bond Interconnect, or DBI®, techniques can enable high density of pads connected across the direct bond interface (e.g., small or fine pitches for regular arrays). In some embodiments, the pitch of the bonding pads may be less 40 microns or less than 10 microns or even less than 2 microns. For some applications the ratio of the pitch of the bonding pads to one of the dimensions of the bonding pad is less than 5, or less than 3 and sometimes desirably less than 2. In various embodiments, the contact pads can comprise copper, although other metals may be suitable.

Thus, in direct bonding processes, a first element can be directly bonded to a second element without an intervening adhesive. In some arrangements, the first element can comprise a singulated element, such as a singulated integrated device die. In other arrangements, the first element can comprise a carrier or substrate (e.g., a wafer) that includes a plurality (e.g., tens, hundreds, or more) of device regions that, when singulated, form a plurality of integrated device dies. Similarly, the second element can comprise a singulated element, such as a singulated integrated device die. In other arrangements, the second element can comprise a carrier or substrate (e.g., a wafer).

As explained herein, the first and second elements can be directly bonded to one another without an adhesive, which is different from a deposition process. The first and second elements can accordingly comprise non-deposited elements. Further, directly bonded structures, unlike deposited layers, can include a defect region along the bond interface in which nanovoids are present. The nanovoids may be formed due to activation of the bonding surfaces (e.g., exposure to a plasma). As explained above, the bond interface can include concentration of materials from the activation and/or last chemical treatment processes. For example, in embodiments that utilize a nitrogen plasma for activation, a nitrogen peak can be formed at the bond interface. In embodiments that utilize an oxygen plasma for activation, an oxygen peak can be formed at the bond interface. In some embodiments, the bond interface can comprise silicon oxynitride, silicon oxycarbonitride, or silicon carbonitride. The bonding layers can also comprise polished surfaces that are planarized to a high degree of smoothness.

In various embodiments, the metal-to-metal bonds between the contact pads can be joined such that copper grains grow into each other across the bond interface. In some embodiments, the copper can have grains oriented along the 111 crystal plane for improved copper diffusion across the bond interface. The bond interface can extend substantially entirely to at least a portion of the bonded contact pads, such that there is substantially no gap between the nonconductive bonding regions at or near the bonded contact pads. In some embodiments, a barrier layer may be provided under the contact pads (e.g., which may include copper). In other embodiments, however, there may be no barrier layer under the contact pads, for example, as described in US 2019/0096741, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety and for all purposes.

FIG. 1A shows a step in forming a bonded structure 1. In FIG. 1A, an interconnect structure 10 is formed on a carrier 11. The carrier 11 can comprise a wafer in various embodiments. The step in FIG. 1A shows a first integrated device die 12 and a second integrated device die 14 prior to be mounted to the interconnect structure 10. The dies 12, 14 can comprise any suitable type of device die, such as a processor die, a memory die, a sensor die, etc. The dielectric field region (e.g., a non-conductive material 32) can be provided over a bulk semiconductor region (e.g., silicon) of the dies 12, 14.

FIG. 1B shows another step in forming the bonded structure 1. The first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14 are mounted (e.g., directly bonded without an intervening adhesive) to the interconnect structure 10. Also, in FIG. 1B, a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) dielectric layer 18 is provided. As shown, the dielectric layer 18 can be deposited over upper surfaces of the dies 12, 14, and over the interconnect structure 10 in a space between the dies 12, 14. In some embodiment, the dielectric layer 18 can comprise a conformal coating. In some embodiments, the CTE of dielectric layer 18 may be less than 10 ppm/° C. and less than 6 ppm/° C. and preferably less than 2 ppm/° C. For example, the CTE of dielectric layer 18 may be in a range of 1 ppm/° C. to 10 ppm/° C., in a range of 2 ppm/° C. to 6 ppm/° C., or in a range of 1 ppm/° C. to 2 ppm/° C. The dielectric layer 18 may comprise multiple dielectric layers. Each dielectric layer of the multiple dielectric layer can comprise different CTE. In some embodiments, the thickness of the dielectric layer 18 can be thinner than the thickness of the integrated device die 12, 14. For example, the thickness of the dielectric layer 18 can be less than 50% of the thickness of the integrated device die 12, 14, or the thickness of the dielectric layer 18 can be less than 20% of the thickness of die 12 or 14.

FIG. 1C shows another step in forming the bonded structure 1. At the step in FIG. 1C, a molding material 16 is provided over the dielectric layer 18, including at locations overlying the dies 12, 14 and in the space between the dies 12, 14. The structure 1 shown in FIG. 1C can comprise a reconstituted wafer comprises a plurality of dies 12, 14 mounted to the carrier 11 and at least partially encapsulated with the molding material 16. At least a portion of the CTE dielectric layer 18 over the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die can be removed or thinned (e.g., etched or grinded). At least a portion of the molding material 16 over the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die can be removed or thinned (e.g., etched or grinded). The structure shown in FIG. 1C can be singulated at the singulation lines 37 to define the bonded structure 1 as shown in FIG. 1D. In some embodiments, the singulation lines 37 can comprise saw streets. The side edges of the bonded structure 1 can comprise a signature indicative of the singulation process, such as saw marking, etch lines, etc.

In some embodiments, the carrier 11 can remain with the interconnect structure until after the application of the molding material 16. However, in some other processes, the carrier 11 can be removed from the interconnect structure 10 at any suitable time, for example, before application of the molding material 16, or before application of the dielectric layer 18. For example, the carrier can be removed from the interconnect structure after the step shown in FIG. 1A and before the step shown in FIG. 1B, after the step shown in FIG. 1B and before the step shown in FIG. 1C, or after the step shown in FIG. 1C and before the step shown in FIG. 1D. In the illustrated embodiment, the carrier 11 is removed after the step shown in FIG. 1C, e.g., after partial removal of the molding material 16 and dielectric layer 18. In some embodiments, the carrier 11 may comprise an optically transparent carrier or plate. The optically transparent carrier may be mechanically coupled to the lower surface of the interconnect structure 10 with for example UV light releasable layer (not shown).

FIG. 1D shows a schematic cross sectional side view of the bonded structure 1 according to an embodiment. In some embodiments, the bonded structure 1 can comprise a singulated reconstituted element that has been singulated from a reconstituted wafer. The bonded structure can comprise an interconnect structure 10, a first integrated device die 12 mounted to the interconnect structure 10, and a second integrated device die 14 mounted to the interconnect structure 10. The interconnect structure 10 can be provided by way of a transfer process. For example, in some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 (e.g., RDL) can be formed on a carrier (such as a semiconductor or glass carrier) and directly bonded to the dies 12, 14. The carrier can be removed from the interconnect structure 10 to transfer the RDL to the dies 12, 14. Therefore, in some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 can comprise a transfer RDL. The first and second dies 12, 14 can be spaced apart from one another along the interconnect structure 10. For example, the first and second dies 12, 14 can be aligned to the design of the interconnect structure. The bonded structure 1 can also include a molding material 16 disposed between the first die 12 and the second die 14, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) dielectric layer 18. Although there are only two dies 12, 14 illustrated in FIG. 1 , the bonded structure 1 can comprise three or more dies, in other embodiments.

In some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 can comprise a redistribution layer (RDL). In some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 can serve as an alignment layer by locking and aligning the relative lateral positions of the dies 12, 14 relative to one another. The interconnect structure 10 can comprise a non-conductive material 20, a plurality of conductive lines 22 formed in the non-conductive material 20, a plurality of conductive vias 23 formed in the non-conductive material 20. In some embodiments, a conductive via 23 can extend through a thickness of the non-conductive material 20. The non-conductive material 20 can comprise any suitable material. For example, the non-conductive material 20 can comprise a dielectric material, such as an oxide material (e.g., silicon oxide), a nitride material (e.g., silicon nitride), or amorphous silicon. In some embodiments, the interconnect structure 10 can have an upper contact surface 10 a that comprises a plurality of conductive pads (e.g., a first conductive pad 24 a and a second conductive pad 24 b), and a non-conductive region 26 at least between the first conductive pad 24 a and the second conductive pad 24 b.

The first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 can comprise any suitable type of device die. For example, the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 can comprise an electronic component such as a processor die, a memory die, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) die, an optical device, or any other suitable type of device die. In some embodiments, the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 can comprise a stack of a plurality of dies. In other embodiments, the electronic component can comprise a passive device such as a capacitor, inductor, or other surface-mounted device. Circuitry (such as active components like transistors) can be patterned at or near active surface(s) of the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 in various embodiments. The active surfaces may be on a side of the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 which is opposite respective backsides of the dies first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14. The backsides may or may not include any active circuitry or passive devices. The first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14 may be the same type of integrated device die or a different type of device die.

The first die 12 can comprise a bonding surface 12 a and an upper surface 12 b opposite the bonding surface 12 a. The bonding surface 12 a can have a conductive bond pad 30, and a non-conductive material 32 proximate to the conductive bond pad 30. In some embodiments, the conductive bond pad 30 can be bonded to the first conductive pad 24 a, and the non-conductive material 32 can be bonded to a portion of the non-conductive region 26. In some embodiments, the conductive bond pad 30 can be directly bonded to the first conductive pad 24 a without an intervening adhesive, and the non-conductive material 32 can be directly bonded to the portion of the non-conductive region 26 without an intervening adhesive. The non-conductive materials 32, 36 and conductive bond pads 30, 24 can be directly bonded without an adhesive as described below.

The second die 14 can comprise a bonding surface 14 a and a back surface 14 b opposite the bonding surface 14 a. The bonding surface 14 a can have a conductive bond pad 34, and a non-conductive material 36 proximate to the conductive bond pad 34. In some embodiments, the conductive bond pad 34 can be bonded to the second conductive pad 24 b, and the non-conductive material 36 can be bonded to a portion of the non-conductive region 26. In some embodiments, the conductive bond pad 34 can be directly bonded to the second conductive pad 24 b without an intervening adhesive, and the non-conductive material 36 can be directly bonded to the portion of the non-conductive region 26 without an intervening adhesive.

In some embodiments, the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 can be bonded to the interconnect structure 10 such that, the active surface(s) of the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 face the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 can be bonded to the interconnect structure 10 such that, the active surface(s) of the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14 face away the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the active surface of one of the first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14 faces the interconnect structure 10 and the active surface of the other one of the first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14 faces away the interconnect structure 10. In the illustrated embodiment, the dielectric layer 18 and the non-conductive material 32 can be flush with the upper surface of the interconnect structure 10. The non-conductive material 32 can accordingly extend along side surfaces of the bulk portion of the dies 12, 14 and along side surfaces of the non-conductive material 32.

The molding material 16 can comprise a polymer, epoxy, resin, or the like material. In some embodiments, the molding material 16 provide mechanical support for the first integrated device die 12 and/or the second integrated device die 14. In some embodiments, the molding material 16 can at least partially fill a gap 40 between the first integrated device die 12 and the second integrated device die 14. The CTE of the molding material 16 may be relatively high such that the molding material 16 may expand when heated, which can induce stresses in the dies 12, 14 and/or the interconnect structure 10.

The low CTE layer 18 can comprise any suitable material. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can have a CTE that is equal to or lower than that of the non-conductive material 20 of the interconnect structure 10, the non-conductive material 32 of the first die 12, or the non-conductive material 36 of the second die 14. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can have a CTE that is lower than that of the molding material 16. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can comprise a dielectric layer. For example, the low CTE layer 18 can comprise a silicon oxide layer. The use of a low CTE layer 18 can reduce the overall thermal mismatch between the molding material 16 and the other components of the structure. The layer 18 can comprise a material that is different from or the same as non-conductive material 32. The layer 18 can be a different material from the molding material 16. The low CTE layer 18 can beneficially reduce and/or remove stresses at the first die 12, the interconnect structure 10, and the molding material 16 during manufacture (or operation) relative to a similar bonded structure without a low CTE layer. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can have a thickness in a range of, for example, 1 μm to 10 μm, in a range of, for example, 1 μm to 5 μm, in a range of, for example, 3 μm to 10 μm, in a range of, for example, 5 μm to 10 μm, or in a range of, for example, 3 μm to 5 μm.

In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can be disposed along at least a portion of a sidewall 12 c of the first integrated device die 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the layer 18 may be disposed only along the sidewall 12 c, e.g., not along the upper surface 12 b of the integrated device die 12. In some embodiments, a majority of the upper surface 12 b of the integrated device die 12 can be free from the low CTE layer 18. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can be disposed along at least a portion of a sidewall 14 c of the second integrated device die 14. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can be applied to the upper surface 12 b and the sidewall 12 c of the die 12, and the low CTE layer 18 can be removed from the upper surface 12 b by, for example, lapping. In the illustrated embodiment, the layer 18 may be disposed only along the sidewall 14 c, e.g., not along the upper surface of the die 14. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can be disposed along at least a portion of the upper contact surface 10 a of the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can comprise a conformal layer that conform with surfaces of the first die 12, second die 14, and the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can separate the molding material 16 from surfaces of the first die 12, second die 14, and the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 completely separates the molding material 16 from the interconnect structure 10 such that no portion of the molding material directly contacts the interconnect structure 10. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can have a CTE in a range of, for example, 3 ppm to 7 ppm, in a range of, for example, 3 ppm to 5 ppm, in a rage of, for example, 5 ppm to 7 ppm.

In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can improve rigidity of the bonded structure 1. In some embodiments, the low CTE layer 18 can provide more reliability during manufacture (and/or operation) of the bonded structure 1 than a similar bonded structure without a low CTE layer. A similar bonded structure without the low CTE layer can have a high stress region at a three point corner or edge between its die, interconnect structure, and molding material. In the bonded structure 1, the low CTE layer 18 can move or shift the high stress region from the three point corner to a region near a corner between the CTE layer 18 and the interconnect structure 10 thereby reducing the stress applied to the first die 12 or the second die 14. For example, the low CTE layer 18 can reduce stress applied to the first and second dies 12, 14 during manufacturing (and/or operation) of the bonded structure.

Bonding surfaces (e.g., the upper contact surface 10 a, the bonding surface 12 a, and the bonding surface 14 a) can be polished or planarized, activated, and terminated with a suitable species. For example, in various embodiments, one or more of the non-conductive region 26, the non-conductive material 32 at the bonding surface 12 a, and the conductive bond pad 34 (e.g., non-conductive material) at the bonding surface 14 a may comprise an inorganic dielectric material, for example, silicon oxide. The bonding surfaces can be polished to a root-mean-square (rms) surface roughness of less than 2 nm, e.g., less than 1 nm, less than 0.5 nm, etc. The polished bonding surfaces can be activated by for example, a process comprising atmospheric or a vacuum plasma method. In various embodiments, the bonding surfaces can be terminated with nitrogen, for example, by way of wet or dry etching (e.g., very slight etching (VSE)) using, for example, a nitrogen-containing solution or by using a plasma etch with nitrogen. In some embodiments, a portion of the non-conductive region 26 and the non-conductive material 32 at the bonding surface 12 a can be brought into contact to form a direct bond at room temperature without application of external pressure and without an adhesive. In some embodiments, a non-conductive region 26 and the conductive bond pad 34 at the bonding surface 14 a can be brought into contact to form a direct bond at room temperature without application of external pressure and without an adhesive.

In some embodiments, the bonded structure 1 can be heated further to improve the bond strength between the opposing bonding surfaces of the interconnect structure 10 and the first die 12 and/or the second die 14, and to form reliable electrical and mechanical contact at the interface between the interconnect structure 10 and the first die 12 or the second die 14. For example, in some embodiments, the respective contact pads 24 a, 24 b, and conductive bond pads 30, 34 can be flush with the surface of the respective non-conductive region 26 and non-conductive materials 32, 36, or can be recessed below the non-conductive region 26 and non-conductive materials 32, 36, for example, recessed in a range of 0 nm to 20 nm, or in a range of 4 nm to 10 nm. Portions of the non-conductive region 26 and the non-conductive materials 32, 36 can be directly bonded to one another without an adhesive at room temperature and, subsequently, the bonded structure 1 can be annealed. Upon annealing, the contact pads 24 a, 24 b, and conductive bond pads 30, 34 can expand and contact one another to form a metal-to-metal direct bond. The metal-to-metal direct bonds can provide an electrical and a mechanical connection between the opposing bonding surfaces of the interconnect structure 10 and the first die 12 and/or the second die 14. Additional details of the direct bonding processes used in conjunction with each of the disclosed embodiments may be found throughout U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,126,212; 8,153,505; 7,622,324; 7,602,070; 8,163,373; 8,389,378; 7,485,968; 8,735,219; 9,385,024; 9,391,143; 9,431,368; 9,953,941; 9,716,033; 9,852,988; 10,032,068; 10,204,893; 10,434,749; and 10,446,532, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety and for all purposes.
